This week, Medical Laboratory Science classes have been even more fun than usual. It's Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, so the MLS faculty and students celebrated.

"We started off the day with breakfast, followed by a student presentation about interesting blood bank case studies," said Michelle Perez-Egana, MLS, (ASCP)CM, and Clinical Lab Science Coordinator.

It is that time of year again, when the U.S. News & World Report comes out with its annual list of the best jobs in the country, and once again, Physician Assistant and Physical Therapist are at the top of the list.

Here at the CHS News Desk, we thought it might be fun to run down the stories that received the most clicks and views from 2022. As we reviewed them, we saw exactly why they garnered so much attention. Some made us laugh and cry. Some inspired. Some were just important and informed us.

No matter the topic, each one made it crystal clear: Last year was a big and important time for the College of Health Sciences. 

Without further ado, let's reveal the list. Cue the drumroll, if you like.
